About: I have experience with cats with health issues and giving medications. My 18 yr old has CKD and a few other issues he gets supplements for that keep him going. I have volunteered with cats at an animal shelter and helped with dog adoption events as a dog handler. My schedule is very open at the moment so I'm available for whatever is needed. I have 3 cats so I do need to be home several times a day to care for them. My cats are indoor only but I take my 18 year old out on a leash on walks around the yard, but he mostly prefers to be carried. I'm happy to take other cats on walks if they are harness trained, or just play with them indoors. Dogs I will walk of course and play with as needed.
“Alyssa done a wonderful job with our 2 babies. This was the first time getting an over night sitter for 4 nights. We were very nervous doing this but she put our minds at ease immediately when meeting with her. She’s gentle, loving, and caring. She followed all requests as directed. My 2 dogs adjusted quickly to her as she has a gentle personality. I like to Thank her and hope to use her for future sitting. TY”

“Quinn is a sweet person and a loving animal sitter. She seemed very trustworthy too. My poor kitty has PTSD and suffers from nervousness and Quinn had him on his back submissive showing his belly the day after I left.🐈 I wish I could use her again but she will be in college for my next vacation. She also has a professional camera and sent me amazing pics of my little man the 4 days I was gone. 💙”

“Nicole was diligent in caring for our dog and bought him a couple of new toys that he loves! She was cheerful and exhibited a great ability in being able to manage his rambunctious behaviors from the very first day. We appreciated her dependability and punctuality.”

About: Ever since I was old enough to stay home alone, I've always enjoyed taking care of pets. Overtime I've gotten used to walking, feeding, and entertaining dogs for my friends and relatives. I’ve cared for dogs from months old to their last years. I currently work 2 jobs, with Sunday as my consistent day off. Despite having multiple jobs, most of my shifts don't exceed 5-6 hours. Both jobs and home are not far from each other. I am all about adopting the dog’s routine whether it be playing in the yard and going for long walks, or spending quality time indoors. I’m always observing behavior, ensuring that I can take care of them to my utmost ability.
About: I have had dogs my entire life and developed a genuine love for animals from an early age. I have sat and taken care of friends’ and families' pets over the years. While in high school my mother and I fostered dogs while they waited to be adopted. In addition, I spent 2.5 years working at a locally owned pet store, where I gained hands-on experience with pet care, behavior, and nutrition. I am widely available during the week besides scheduled appointments, errands, and housework. I have reliable transportation and keep an organized schedule so there is no overlap. Each animal should feel safe in their home while their owner is away, so I work calmly and patiently to earn their trust through my actions. Your dog should know I am there for their well-being, including all the good things like snuggling, playing, and tail wags. I treat each client's home with the kindness and respect I would want in return if the roles were reversed. I follow all instructions and information provided to the best of my ability, and your dog will receive plenty of love in the process.

“Madison!!! Can’t say enough great things about her! She was the first person I hired off of this site and she was absolutely awesome! Everything went smoothly! She was so good to my pets and I felt so safe having her stay in our home. She’s very down to earth and you can tell she loves animals. I would ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND HER to literally anyone and everyone!!”

“This was the first time we used Rover. Cassie was excellent and made us feel that she was the right person to take care of our babies. Although they are sweet, they are a handful sometimes when they have to be taken out for walks. The spaniel in them tends to dominate the walks. She was so sweet and sent pictures and videos and made us feel at ease.”

“Maddy was an amazing house sitter for our boy Oliver. We cannnot recommend her enough. She was clean and kept us updated on Oliver while we were away. She will be our go too from now on!”

About: Hi! I love animals and love meeting new animal friends! I am very detail oriented and love to spend time with animals whether that through training or simply just cuddling. I have taken care of all types of animals my whole life and I am honored to care for someone else’s fur baby! I have a flexible schedule as a stay at home mom and am able to offer care services from overnight stays to grooming and basic training. I hope to be your top choice for your pets care! I am currently a stay at home mom and I can offer 24/7 services! I am readily available for all breeds of dogs and cats and I also like to research different breeds to learn about how to care for everyone’s unique individual traits. I am able to carry animals as needed and I also have an SUV that can be used in cases of emergency. I am up early mornings and can adjust to your fur babies schedule as needed. I have a fenced in dog kennel that was built for my own dogs which has 1 access point to make sure there are no accidental breakouts. I have a rather large home that offers multiple places to house your pet because I know everyone has a different situation so we are very adaptable. I am able to follow a routine and instructions left by my clients in the event I am needed at their home address.

About: I have taken care of my dog since he was a puppy when I was 10 years old, my dog is now 16 years old and I still take care of him. I have also taken care of my family and friends dogs for the past 5 years. I am currently watching your pets full-time so I will have plenty of time to play with and keep your pets safe!

I will provide attentive, loving care while following feeding schedules, maintaining secure doors/leashes, give constant attention, provide updates, clean thoroughly, respect house rules, and create a calm, comfortable environment for your pets!
“Madilyn was wonderful. This was her first time sitting for us. She was very attentive to our dogs’ needs, and even sent me one of the best photos ever of my collie, Ollie! I’m pretty sure she left the house cleaner than when we left for vacation :-). I would highly recommend her and I’d use her again in a heartbeat!”

“Wonderful! My dog is crazy and doesn't like anyone, but he loved Kayla (even though it took a little time)! She left my home in impeccable shape and followed my directions to a "t". I would highly recommend her and cannot wait to have her back!”
